Question

Describe the processes that transfer carbon from the atmosphere to the land and from the land to the atmosphere. What are the chemical reactions that describe these processes? How do these processes interact to produce the "saw tooth" annual cycle in the atmospheric abundance of CO, shown in Figures 5.1 and 5.6? A letter to the editor of the Austin American-Statesman, published on December 23, 2009, asks this question: "The trillion-dollar question that Copenhagen has not answered [is this]: Because carbon dioxide molecules are all identical, why is it that carbon dioxide from carbonated beverages, pets, cattle, farm animals, and humans, yeast, dry ice, fireplaces, charcoal grills, campfires, wildfires, alcohol and ethanol is good, and carbon dioxide from fossil fuel is bad? Can anyone in the United States answer this question?" What is your answer? Your aunt asks you how we know that volcanoes are not responsible for the observed increase in carbon dioxide. What do you tell her? plant material in a process known as CO_2 + H_2O + sunlight 01.0 + 0: In this reaction, carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight combine to produce CH_2O and O_2. Because CH_3 O is a combination of carbon and water, molecules made up of this unit are generally referred to at carbohydrates - in that context, you can dunk of CH_3O as the chemical formula for a plant. Diatomic oxygen produced in this

Explanation / Answer

Answer for question no.1

1a) process that transfer carbon from the atmosphere to the land: In this process Carbon or Co2 is observed by plants mainly photosynthesis, those animals and plants dead and decay in land, in this way carbon transferred from atmosphere to land. Oceans are also uptake the Carbon.

Process that transfer carbon from the land to the atmosphere: In this process Carbon or Co2 is released by plants and animals in the form of respiration. And fossil fuel burnings, industries many more releasing to atmosphere, in this way carbon transfer from land to atmosphere.

1b) From observing figure that, carbon emission drastically increases in that years, where the sharp peaks occur and few decades carbon emission may be drastically decreases, this is shows saw tooth curves in figure.
